Removing a Memory Module
You may need to remove a memory module if you change the memory
configuration or replace a bad module. The computer may ship with all
sockets filled.
1 Remove the side cover (see “Removing the Side Cover” on page 24).
2 Remove the power supply (see “Removing the Power Supply” on
page 44).
3 Locate the memory module you wish to remove.
4 Push down the handle on each side of the memory module to eject
the module from its socket.
5 Grasp one edge of the memory module and lift out. Store the module
in a static-free bag.
! Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open
applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut
down the computer, and unplug the power cord.
✍ The memory modules are located beneath the power supply.
! Touch any exposed metal part of the chassis to discharge static
electricity in your body before handling the memory module.
